About
Yu-Hsien Chen is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in thyroid and gastric cancer surgery. His primary contributions lie in the development and refinement of transoral endoscopic and robotic thyroidectomy, a scarless approach that avoids cutaneous incisions and has gained global traction. Chen’s landmark 2020 study, which compared transoral robotic versus endoscopic thyroidectomy using propensity-score matching (62 citations), established critical benchmarks for surgical outcomes. He further demonstrated preclinical feasibility of the single-port robotic system in 2019 (28 citations), paving the way for broader adoption. His mid-term oncological outcomes study (2023, 18 citations) confirmed the safety and efficacy of these techniques for thyroid cancer. Beyond thyroid surgery, Chen has innovated in reduced-port robotic gastrectomy for gastric cancer (2022, 11 citations), showing that fewer ports can maintain surgical quality. Most recently, his 2024 work on a joystick-controlled robotic scope holder in transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy highlights his ongoing commitment to enhancing precision and ergonomics. With cumulative citations exceeding 120, Chen is a leading voice in robotic surgery, consistently pushing the boundaries of what is possible in minimally invasive oncology.
